False tenor
The "false tenor" with an extraordinary vocal range is a rare voice part in the vocal world, it is the highest vocal part of the male vocal singing range, which can achieve the overlap of soprano and soprano.
The "false tenor" has existed since the Middle Ages, translated as Alto or Countertenor in Western vocal works. Male Alto is a high-pitched male voice that prevailed in the Middle Ages, approaching the height of the female voice and having a soft tone. From the Middle Ages to the Bach and Handel periods, Countertenor began to prevail, and the sound was clear and translucent.
The famous Italian eunuch singer Farinelli
In the 17th century, in order to allow male singers to reach female vocal heights, castrated singers began to prevail, and the crisp, powerful and sweet voice made castrated singers an absolute star on the opera stage in the 17th century. But as the times passed, this inhumane approach gradually became history.

In the play, the Persian king Sels came to a large tree to cool off under the scorching sun, and the scenery in front of him touched the scene and sang a song of praise for nature: "How nostalgic is this dense shade." When the storm hits, there is still peace and tranquility when you walk under this tree. ”
